我和语巢

您好！我叫柯卿，住在新西兰奥克兰，一座风大浪大、云也大的城市。我在这儿教中文，也在这儿做母亲。我教了九年中文，从中国教到新西兰。教的是词汇和句子，也是一种不被忘记的声音——孩子们用这声音去寻找他们是谁，从哪里来，要去哪里。语巢是在我第二个孩子快要出生时慢慢发芽的。那时常常一边是大女儿追着滚来滚去的产球、一边是我满屋子找着滚来滚去的ipad画笔、一边是我丈夫跟紧急联络人语音说“今天还没发动！”。我家不大，护照却不少；说话的人不多，说的语言倒热闹。中文、韩语、英文像三只小鸟，各自鸣叫，又一起筑巢。我想，中文课若只教你写“山”、“水”、“你”、“我”，那它就只是一门功课；可要是它能教你看见汉字的绝美智慧、让你能用中文跟人恋爱吵架、或者带你回想起故乡门前的小河，炉子上的饭香，那它就是一座踏实的桥、一条归家的路。语巢就是为这条路搭的一只小巢，风来时也不怕。

저와 LingNest

안녕하세요, 저는 커칭입니다.
바람도 크고, 파도도 크고, 구름도 큰 도시 —
뉴질랜드 오클랜드에 살고 있어요.
이곳에서 중국어를 가르치고, 두 아이의 엄마로 살아갑니다.중국에서 뉴질랜드까지, 9년 넘게 중국어를 가르쳐 왔습니다.
단어와 문장을 전하는 것도 있지만,
무엇보다 제가 전하고 싶은 건 잊히지 않는 하나의 소리입니다.
아이들이 그 소리를 따라
"나는 누구인지, 어디서 왔는지, 어디로 가는지"
스스로 찾을 수 있도록요.‘언어의 둥지’는 둘째 아이를 기다리던 시절,
조용히 싹을 틔우기 시작했습니다.그때의 저희 집은 늘 분주했어요 —
큰아이는 출산용 볼을 쫓아 방 안을 구르고,
저는 온 집안을 돌며 아이패드 펜을 찾고,
남편은 분만 담당자에게 전화로 말했죠.
“오늘도 아직 진통이 안 왔어요!”우리 집은 크지 않지만, 여권은 많습니다.
말하는 사람은 많지 않지만,
들리는 언어는 참 다양해요.
중국어, 한국어, 영어 —
세 마리 작은 새처럼 각자 울다가,
결국 하나의 둥지를 함께 짓고 있습니다. 🐦🐦🐦저는 생각해요.
중국어 수업이 ‘산’, ‘물’, ‘너’, ‘나’만 가르친다면,
그건 그냥 하나의 과목일 뿐입니다.하지만 그 수업이
한자의 아름다운 지혜를 보여주고,
중국어로 사랑하고 다툴 수 있게 해주고,
고향 집 앞 냇물이나
부엌에서 피어오르던 밥 냄새를 떠올리게 한다면 —
그건 아이에게 하나의 든든한 다리,
하나의 귀향길이 될 수 있다고요.‘언어의 둥지’는
그 길 위에 놓인 작은 보금자리입니다.
바람이 불어와도,
쉽게 무너지지 않도록 말이에요.

About me

Hi! 你好! I’m Keqing — a local high school Chinese teacher based in Auckland, New Zealand. With over nine years of language teaching experience across China and New Zealand, I’ve spent much of my life helping young people connect with language, culture, and identity.LingNest was born during a season of growth — quite literally — as our family welcomed our second child. In our home, we navigate Chinese, Korean, and Kiwi cultures every day, often across multiple time zones and multiple passports. LingNest grew out of that lived reality, grounded in the belief that language is more than grammar and vocabulary — it’s a bridge to belonging.

우리의 마음

LingNest는 거창한 사업이 아닙니다.
그보다는 다언어 가정을 위해
살짝 풀어놓은 작은 흙덩이에 가깝습니다.비록 작아도,
그 흙 한 줌 안에서 뿌리가 자라날 수 있다고 믿습니다.우리는 바라고 있어요.
언어 사이에서 자란 아이든,
이주한 부모든 —
이곳에서 잠시 쉬어가며
자기만의 무언가를 살짝 심어볼 수 있기를.우리는 이야기를 만들고,
함께 나눌 수 있는 자료도 만듭니다.《뿌리와 날개》 그림책 시리즈에서 시작해,
부모와 아이가 함께 쓰고,
교실에서도 활용할 수 있는
엽서, 단어 카드, 달력 등을 차곡차곡 준비하고 있어요.값비싼 건 아니지만,
소파 한켠에 늘 놓여 있는
그 익숙하고 부드러운 담요처럼 —
그저 거기 있다는 것만으로
마음을 놓이게 해주는 존재이길 바랍니다.저에게 언어란,
우리 삶의 냄새와 소리입니다.식탁 위에서 세 가지 이름으로 불리는 배추,
꿈속에서 튀어나오는 그 한마디 “엄마”,
서툴지만 끝내 기억해내는
아이의 말 한 마디.LingNest는 그런 말들을,
그 말에 깃든 냄새와 소리까지
소중히 담아두고 싶어요.길 위에서 걷고 있는 당신과 나,
집이란 의미를 다시 만들어가는
모든 이들을 위해서요.

语巢初心

LingNest 不是一项宏大的事业，它更像一小块为多语家庭松开的土壤，哪怕只是一小块，也能种出根来。我们希望，无论是在语言之间长大的孩子，还是移民父母，都能在这里歇一歇脚，种下一点属于自己的东西。我们创作故事，也做资源。从《根与翼》绘本系列开始，到适合亲子和课堂使用的明信片、词卡和日历。不贵重，但像沙发上那条熟悉柔软的毛毯，只要看它在角落里，就觉得踏实安心。语言于我，是我们生活里的气味和声音：饭桌上那颗被叫了三种名字的白菜，梦里喊出来的那个“妈妈”，还有孩子说得磕磕绊绊却一直记得的词。语巢想把这些词连着气味和声音收好，留给那些在路上走、在家里找、在变化中长大的你和我。

写给天气的信
LETTERS TO WEATHER

一封在世界上漂流的信，
一本关于天气与“家”的绘本。
我们正在带着记忆的天气写成一本书：
《写给天气的信》。

A drifting letter traveling through the world,
a picture book about weather and “home.”
We are turning the weather of our memories into a book
— Letters to the Weather.

📚 关于这本书 | ABOUT THE BOOK

一封“寄错了地址”的信，被风带着游走世界——从新西兰的细雨，到韩国的秋风；从俄罗斯的雪夜，到马来西亚的阳光；再到江南水乡的梅雨。这本书想记录的不只是气候，更是归属感：家乡，或后来才拥有的那个“家”。

A letter “sent to the wrong address,” carried by the wind across the world — from the fine drizzle of New Zealand to the autumn breeze of Korea; from the snowy nights of Russia to the sunshine of Malaysia; and to the plum-rain season in the river towns of Jiangnan. This book is not only about climates, but about belonging — the home we came from, and the one we found along the way.

⛅️ 为什么是“天气” | why 'weather'

天气是最直接的记忆线索：气味、光线、声音会一瞬间把人带回某个地方。对第三文化人或者移民来说，天气常常连着“另一个家”。我们希望通过天气，温柔地谈“离开与归来”、“漂流与安放”。
Weather is the most direct thread of memory — a scent, a light, a sound can bring you back to a place in an instant. For third culture people and immigrants, weather often connects to “another home.”
Through weather, we hope to speak gently about leaving and returning, drifting and belonging.

✏️ 我们邀请你参与：给天气写信

We invite you to take part: Write a letter to the weather

我们在收集来自世界各地的天气记忆，将真实语料收录为绘本尾声「彩蛋」与线上声音展。无论你是第三文化的孩子与大人，在外地生活、旅行、驻留的人，还是只是想把一场天气寄给某个人——我们都会非常珍惜你的分享。
这封信可以是一句话，也可以是一幅画。没有标准答案，也不需要准备。只要跟着记忆走，回到那个有光、有气味的时刻。
We’re gathering weather memories from around the world — real voices that will become the “epilogue surprise” of our picture book and part of an online sound exhibition. Whether you’re a third culture child or adult, someone living abroad, traveling, or simply wishing to send a piece of weather to someone special — we’ll treasure your story.
Your letter can be a single sentence or a drawing. There’s no right answer, no need to prepare — just follow your memory back to that moment filled with light and scent.

📒 如何参与 | How to take part

你可以回答以下任意一个问题，然后通过提交表单（或私信/电邮）把你的“天气”寄给我们：
You can answer any one of the questions below,
then send your “weather” to us through the form (or by email):

🏡 此刻你脑海里的“家”，是哪一个？那里的天气是什么味道/声音？（泥土、茶、花、海？雨声、风声、蝉声？）
Which “home” comes to your mind right now?
What does the weather there sound or smell like — soil, tea, flowers, the sea? Rain, wind, cicadas?
🎁 如果能把一种天气包装成礼物，你想送给谁？为什么？
If you could wrap a kind of weather as a gift, who would you send it to — and why?
✏️ 给天气写一句话，比如：“奥克兰的雨，……”
Write a line to the weather, for example: “Auckland’s rain, …”

💻 我们会如何使用你的投稿 | How we’ll use your submission

选中的信将以匿名或署名（由你选择）收录在绘本尾声「写给天气的信」彩蛋章节、网站与声音展中。

Selected letters will be featured — anonymously or with your name, as you choose — in the “Letters to the Weather” epilogue of the picture book, as well as on our website and in the accompanying sound exhibition.

山海之间的风——写给远方家人的心意书
The Wind Between Mountains and Seas:
A Love Letter to Family Afar

这是一首写给远方亲人的图文诗，
一本让思念有形、有声、有温度的心意书。
即使隔着山海，
我们依然在同一片风里。
有风吹过的地方，
就会有人想你。

An illustrated poem for those we love across the distance
— a book that gives longing its shape, its sound, its warmth.
Across mountains and seas,
we are still under the same wind.
Wherever the wind passes,
someone is thinking of you.

📚 故事理念 · Story Concept

有些思念不动声色，却始终在场——它藏在汤咕咚响的锅里，躲在孩子突然说出的那句母语里，在四季交替的风里。《山海之间的风》是一封漂洋过海的家书，用图与诗，讲述亲人之间温柔而深远的牵挂——哪怕隔着山海、时差、语言和日夜，生活的细节仍在默默回应。
这本书是给孩子的——让他们知道有人在远方默默爱着他们；更是给大人的——提醒我们，那些熟悉的气味、物件和回忆从未远离。

Some kinds of love never speak loudly, yet they never fade. They live in the quiet bubbling of a soup pot, in the sudden return of a child’s mother tongue, in the wind that carries the rhythm of changing seasons.The Wind Between Mountains and Seas is a letter that crosses oceans — a gentle story told through images and poetry, about the invisible threads that hold families together. Even when mountains, seas, time zones, and languages stand between us, the small details of life still whisper to one another.It is a book for children — to know they are loved, even from afar. And for adults — to remember that scent, touch, and memory never truly leave the ones they belong to.

✏️ 插画理念 · ILLUSTRATION Concept

每一个跨页，都是两个世界和两个时间。它们隔着山海，却又近得能听见彼此的呼吸——一根线从那头织起，成了这头孩子身上的毛衣；这头飘着的细雨，落进了那头的小河。牛奶的香气、茶壶的热气，在风里相遇了。这些细细的连接，在看不见的地方发着光。你和远方的亲人一定也能在两个时间里找到属于自己的和声。

Each spread holds two worlds — distant, yet close enough to hear each other breathe. A thread begins in one world and becomes the child’s sweater in another; the drizzle from this side of the mountain falls softly into that side’s small river; the scent of milk and the steam of tea meet in the wind.
All these gentle threads shimmer beyond what the eyes can see. Somewhere between two moments in time, you and your loved ones will find your own echo too.

Joy的钥匙串 · 故事与插画理念
Joy’s Keychain · Story & Illustration Concept

对在多文化环境中成长的孩子来说，
家的定义是流动的，
情感的连结跨越地理与语言。
他们常常要在离别与重逢之间，
重新组织自己的故事。
这是 LingNest 的第一本绘本故事，
献给所有在多重文化中寻找自我的孩子与大人。
它陪伴我们去理解——
“我是谁”、“我属于哪里”、
以及“我所拥有的珍贵”。For children growing up in multicultural worlds,
the meaning of home is fluid —
their emotional bonds stretch across places and languages.
Between each farewell and reunion,
they learn to reorganize and retell their own story.This is LingNest’s very first picture book,
dedicated to all children and adults
who are finding themselves among multiple cultures.It gently accompanies us in exploring —
Who am I?
Where do I belong?
and What do I hold dear?

📚 故事理念 · Story Concept

对第三文化孩子（Third Culture Kids）来说，“告别”是一种频繁而真实的情绪体验。他们在不同国家与语言之间成长，一边离开，一边学着去爱。《Joy的钥匙串》希望帮助孩子们温柔地面对这种情绪——理解告别不只是伤心与思念，也是爱的延伸与积累。故事里，Joy 有三把象征性的钥匙，打开三扇记忆的门；门后藏着不同的家、不同的语言、不同的回忆。每一次转动钥匙，都是一次与自己重逢。

For Third Culture Kids, goodbyes come often — but each farewell carries a gift, a trace of love that stays.
Joy’s Keychain gently helps children hold that feeling, reminding them that behind every door lies not only sadness and longing, but also warmth and belonging. The three symbolic keys in Joy’s hands open three doors of memory — each revealing a home, a language, and a piece of herself.

✏️ 插画理念 · ILLUSTRATION Concept

画面中布满中、韩、纽玩具的客厅，是 Joy 多文化身份的象征；那只略显凌乱的行李箱，代表第三文化孩子频繁的旅行与漂流。它装的不只是衣物，还有成长中的连结与故事。钥匙与行李箱会在 Roots & Wings 系列的其他绘本中再次出现，像温柔的秘密标记，邀请读者慢慢去发现。绘本的最后，也邀请小读者画出属于自己的钥匙与门——那扇通向“家”的门，会是什么样子呢？

In the illustrations, a living room filled with Chinese, Korean, and New Zealand toys reflects Joy’s multicultural world. A half-open suitcase symbolizes the rhythm of movement and change in a Third Culture childhood — full of stories carried across borders. Both the suitcase and the keys appear again in other Roots & Wings picture books, forming quiet threads across stories. At the end of the book, readers are invited to draw their own key and door — a doorway that leads back to the feeling of home.

关于《根与翼》系列绘本

《根与翼》绘本系列，是写给像我的孩子们这样，在多种语言和文化之间走路的孩子的。他们的家，可能不止一个；说的话，也常常夹杂着几种口音。他们在世界之间长大，左脚踏着故乡，右脚踩进远方。我们想用一本本小小的书，把那些孩子心里说不清、别人听不懂的情绪叫出名字。告诉他们，混血的身份、多语的脑袋、反复的告别和重建，不是麻烦，而是一种默默生长着的本领。这些书里有故事，有语言，还有图画，就像夜里亮着的小灯。它们不是给孩子指出哪条路要走，而是让他们知道：无论走到哪里，心里都有个小巢，是自己筑起来的。每个孩子都该有一片土壤，能让他们扎根；也该有一对翅膀，能带他们飞远。

绘本介绍

《JOY的钥匙串》

《Joy的钥匙串》是一封写给“多重归属的孩子”的温柔信笺。Joy 有一个装满记忆的小钥匙串，每一把钥匙都通往一个“家”。她常常想——哪一把钥匙才是“真正的家”？在一次用钥匙打开记忆的旅程里，Joy发现，家的形状并不止一个，而那一串一串一同叮当作响的钥匙，正是她独特的“我是谁”的声音。这是《根与翼》系列的第一本绘本，邀请每一个跨文化的孩子，用自己的方式，重新定义“家”。

《山海之间的风——写给远方家人的心意书》

《山海之间的风》是一封漂洋过海的家书，用图与诗，讲述亲人之间温柔而深远的牵挂——哪怕隔着山海、时差、语言和日夜，生活的细节仍在默默回应。这本书是给孩子的，让他们知道有人在远方默默爱着他们；也是给大人的，提醒我们，那些熟悉的气味、物件和回忆从未远离。

《写给天气的信》

《写给天气的信》是一部多声部的绘本，也是许多记忆的合集。故事从一封寄往“家”的信开始，它被风带着走过世界——新西兰的细雨，韩国的秋风，俄罗斯的雪夜，马来西亚的阳光，还有江南水乡的梅雨。每到一个地方，信都会听见人们和天气的对话：雨的气味，风的触感，光的颜色，还有“家”的样子。
我们也邀请正在世界之间行走的你来分享记忆中的一场天气——没有标准答案，也不需要准备。只要跟着记忆走，给那场只有你看见的风、雨、阳光或雪，写一封信。

About our Upcoming
Roots & Wings Picture Book Series

The Roots & Wings picture book series is created for Third Culture Kids (TCKs) and multilingual families navigating identity across borders, languages, and cultures.At its heart, this series gently names and validates the complex feelings children experience when growing up between worlds, helping them recognize their hybrid cultural identity as a quiet superpower.Through story, language, and representation, each book offers emotional anchoring — a “nest” where feelings are seen, and children are reminded that they belong.Because every child deserves both roots to hold them, and wings to help them soar.

INTRODUCTION

<JOY'S KEYCHAIN>

Joy’s Keychain is a gentle letter for children growing up between different places, languages, and homes. Joy has a little keychain filled with memories — each key opens to a different “home.” She often wonders: Which key belongs to my true home? One day, as she uses the keys to unlock her memories, Joy discovers that home doesn’t have just one shape. The gentle jingle of her keys becomes her unique sound of “Who am I.”
This is the first picture book in the Roots & Wings series, inviting every cross-cultural child to redefine “home” in their own way.

<The Wind Between Mountains and Seas:
A Love Letter to Family Afar>

The Wind Between Mountains and Sea is a letter that drifts across oceans. Through images and poetry, it tells the gentle story of love that remains across distance — even when mountains, seas, time zones, and languages separate us. Every small detail of daily life still quietly responds across that distance.
This book is for children — to remind them that someone, somewhere, is loving them in silence. And it is also for adults — to remind us that familiar scents, objects, and memories are never truly far away.

<Letters to Weather>

Letters to Weather is a multi-voiced picture book — a collection of many memories. The story begins with a letter sent to “home.” Carried by the wind, it travels across the world. At every stop, the letter overhears quiet conversations between people and their weather.
We also invite those who move between worlds to share a piece of weather from their own memories — no right answers, no preparation needed. Just follow your memory, and write a small letter to the wind, the rain, the sunlight, or the snow you once saw.

다가오는 『뿌리와 날개』 그림책 시리즈 소개

『뿌리와 날개』 그림책 시리즈는
국경, 언어, 문화 사이를 오가며
정체성을 찾아가는 다문화 아동(Third Culture Kids)과
다언어 가정을 위해 만들어졌습니다.이 시리즈는
서로 다른 세계 사이에서 자라는 아이들이
마음속에 느끼는 복잡하고 섬세한 감정들에
살며시 이름을 붙여주고,
그 감정이 틀리지 않았다고
따뜻하게 말해줍니다.이야기와 언어, 그리고 그림을 통해
각 책은 하나의 작은 ‘둥지’가 되어
아이들이 자신의 감정을 알아차리고,
“나는 여기 있어도 괜찮아”
라고 느낄 수 있도록 도와줍니다.모든 아이는
자신을 지탱해 줄 뿌리와
멀리 날 수 있도록 해주는 날개를
가질 자격이 있습니다.

INTRODUCTION

조이의 열쇠고리

《조이의 열쇠고리》는 여러 집 사이에서 자라는 아이들에게 보내는 따뜻한 편지입니다.
조이에게는 추억이 담긴 작은 열쇠고리가 있습니다.
각 열쇠는 서로 다른 “집”으로 통하지요.
조이는 가끔 생각합니다. “어느 열쇠가 진짜 내 집의 열쇠일까?”
기억의 문을 열어가는 여정 속에서 조이는 깨닫습니다.
집의 모습은 하나가 아니며,
달랑거리는 열쇠 소리 속에는 “나는 누구인가”라는 그녀만의 목소리가 숨어 있습니다.
이 책은 《뿌리와 날개》 시리즈의 첫 번째 이야기로,
모든 다문화 아이들이 자신만의 방식으로 ‘집’을 다시 정의하도록 초대합니다.

산과 바다 사이의 바람 — 멀리 있는 가족에게 보내는 마음의 편지

《산과 바다 사이의 바람》은 바다를 건너온 한 통의 편지입니다.
그림과 시를 통해, 멀리 떨어져 있어도 이어져 있는 따뜻한 마음을 이야기합니다.
산과 바다, 시차와 언어가 우리를 갈라놓아도,
일상의 작은 순간들은 여전히 서로에게 조용히 응답합니다.
이 책은 아이들을 위한 책이자,
그들이 멀리서도 누군가의 사랑을 받고 있음을 느끼게 해 줍니다.
또한 어른들을 위한 책이기도 합니다.
익숙한 냄새와 사물, 기억은 결코 우리에게서 멀리 떠나 있지 않다는 것을 상기시켜 줍니다.

날씨에게 보내는 편지

《날씨에게 보내는 편지》는 여러 사람의 목소리로 엮은 그림책이자,
수많은 기억의 모음입니다.
이야기는 ‘집으로 보내는 편지’에서 시작됩니다.
그 편지는 바람에 실려 세계를 떠돌며,
뉴질랜드의 가는 비, 한국의 가을 바람,
러시아의 눈 내리는 밤, 말레이시아의 햇살,
그리고 중국 장난의 긴 장마 속을 지나갑니다.
각 장소마다 편지는 사람들과 날씨 사이의 조용한 대화를 듣습니다.
비의 냄새, 바람의 촉감, 빛의 색, 그리고 ‘집’의 모습.
우리는 세상 사이를 오가는 사람들에게 초대장을 보냅니다.
당신의 기억 속 한 장면의 날씨를 들려주세요.
정답도, 준비도 필요 없습니다.
그저 기억을 따라, 당신이 본 바람과 비, 햇살과 눈에게
한 통의 작은 편지를 써 주세요.
